Lijit

What’s buzzing around the Lijit offices, you ask?

In case you were wondering where all the honey bees have gone…look no further.

According to eyewitness reports, the swarm “arrived in tight formation, surveyed the Rio Grande across the street, found it unsuitable and then proceeded to colonize our tree.”

The guy in the white shirt is Bill, a wonderful guy and Lijit employee who alerted us to the swarm’s presence yesterday. After others in the building caught wind of the news, a small crowd gathered to enjoy the spectacle of nature until some do-gooder beekeepers came by to collect the bees a little while later.

A final close-up shot of the swarm, so you can fully appreciate just how Lijit we can bee…

Many thanks to Zach Conger, our resident Systems Architect and honey of a guy for rushing out to document this extraordinary event.

And yes, this does constitute exciting around our workplace. No judging.

    I was a beekeeper long time ago... yum honey comb! Now I sell children's books.
    "Here is the queen bee, who does her job well and lays tiny eggs in a six-sided cell.
    She's the heart of the hive," says the Beeman.

    Happy summer and bee dancing! :D
